Re: Questions for owners
Keep at it with the tailgate. When I first got my current car the tailgate foot swipe/kick worked about 30% of the time. 2yrs down the line and using a kick action rather than a swipe I know get approx 95% success on first kick.

Re: Polestar Performance Software

Re: Mud Flaps
Senwar. I am weak. I gave in. Car is getting filthy way to quickly. Ordered a set yesterday and should be with me tomorrow.
